  • dovahkiintm Brittany Hood (@dovahkiintm) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I cant even log in. I couldn't even tell you what the menu looks like. I've played since the day Overwatch 1 was released and I don't even get to log in. This is absolutely insane. I sit in queue for hours just to see "Unexpected Server Error" When will this be fixed??

  • kat35367520 kat (@kat35367520) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I purchased the watchpoint pack and didn’t receive anything in overwatch 2 I’ve re-downloaded the game and still nothing. I want to access the battle pass I paid for! anyone else having this problem?

  • giladhershko wolf pro (@giladhershko) reported

    Why did i lose all my skins from overwatch 1 im on the same account and i lost everything fix your game @Blizzard_Ent

  • FrontiechN Boobatate (@FrontiechN) reported

    Here's an interesting glowup. 2016 i was around 13 yrs old maybe? Yeah 13. Used to **** on Overwatch and FIFA so hard. Now here we are in 2022, 19 years old. Same games that I hated all those years ago now hold dear in my heart. Despite the queue times and the DDoS (continued)

  • Ransan ✖ Ran ✖ (@Ransan) reported

    If Overwatch is still not working, you should contact your bank and hit them with a charge back if you spent money. This is ridiculous #Overwatch #Overwatch2down

  • CRASH_XCX ◉ ‿ ◉ ᴄʜᴀʀʟɪᴇ (@CRASH_XCX) reported

    Losing every game of overwatch today hmmm starting to think I’m the problem

  • Tyger_strype Tygra “Terrifying” Strype🇺🇦🔞 (@Tyger_strype) reported

    If you don’t know(Like me) Overwatch 2 is forcing you to use your sms to play. Problem is all this time I had never had a cellphone

  • Kils_Alt Killlyx (@Kils_Alt) reported

    @BlizzardCS My stats are frozen after I transfered to Overwatch 2 how do I fix this?

  • anisvjade Anisa Herbert (@anisvjade) reported

    @Crumbzology Yeah, exactly that. Most companies will compensate their customers when stuff like this happens. Overwatch is going to be surviving solely based off the people that buy the battlepasses or not. With these problems, people need a reason to continue playing.

  • ItsGlowzy VΞ Glowzy (FOLLOWING BACK) (@ItsGlowzy) reported

    Are people able to play Overwatch 2 now or is the queue issue still going on?

  • CaptainSchwann Princess ♡ (@CaptainSchwann) reported

    I just can't seem to get my Overwatch 2 audio issues solved and I've looked into literally every possible problem it could be. I'm at a loss of what to do. I actually wanna cry because of how frustrated I am.

  • si_freeze17 Brandon Shearer (@si_freeze17) reported

    Overwatch 2 - Still getting the login error after sitting hours in queue and multiple attempts. @PlayOverwatch #PS5

  • LarunaSoftpaw Laruna Softpaw🦖🦕🏳️‍⚧️ (@LarunaSoftpaw) reported

    I really miss playing Overwatch sometimes but I haven't touched it in a long time because of the loot box system. I'm one of those people who has trouble avoiding the temptation of them. Plus playing Blizzard games after what I know about them now makes me feel queasy.

  • ItsMillie420 ItsMillie420 (@ItsMillie420) reported

    @PlayOverwatch nice job on making OverWatch 2 which people can't f****** queue into or have your phone number verified not say error all because you were too f****** lazy to update the original OverWatch and greed and in the end overwatch 2 free to play because it's ****

  • R3P01012 Joe (@R3P01012) reported

    Day 3 of Overwatch 2 Still has login issues, nice

  • TheDShowwer TheDShowwer (@TheDShowwer) reported

    6 years of overwatch 1 and we didn't get a working naked mercy glitch. Unlucky.

  • Kiki8998Kiki 🍓🥀 Nouk 🍁 💌 (@Kiki8998Kiki) reported

    I'm still getting the LC-208 error on ps4 when I try and load into Overwatch 2, I managed to get into it once and played some games and bought some of the souvenirs, but now I can't access it anymore.. My account has been merged is nothing missing it just won't load

  • Ren_Heika Ren (@Ren_Heika) reported

    Hey @Blizzard_Ent how about you call #Overwatch2 what it really is, Overwatch 1.5 Money Grabber Update. Didn't even do anything to fix matchmaking balance and you added tons of bugs and issues in...

  • hauchan07 HAXIRO7 (@hauchan07) reported

    Having issues with Overwatch 2 because of phone number.

  • FSRbori ✨🌸FSRbori🌸✨ (@FSRbori) reported

    ✨Thanks to blizzard for working so hard to fix the Overwatch servers.✨ #Overwatch2

  • bippaadesu VIPPER(ゝω・´)v (@bippaadesu) reported

    By the way, games like Overwatch 1 "shutting down" would not even be a thing if self-hosted multiplayer were possible. The "Games as a Service" business model is user-hostile to the core.

  • ryanmarkel Ryan Markel (@ryanmarkel) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Happy to see this morning that Overwatch 2 will no longer have the phone number requirement for previously existing accounts. I wish they would extend this to *all* accounts, as it still creates an access issue, but I’m looking forward to seeing if my kids can log in tomorrow.

  • GrumblySmark Dustin (@GrumblySmark) reported

    @BlizzardCS my main overwatch account has been given the error code message fpr 2 days now. I tried an alt account and was let right in. Is something keeping my main account out of the game? Anything I've done wrong?

  • fuckkurrent ❄️ (@fuckkurrent) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri yeah.. when are they gonna fix the skin issue?? id like to play but i'm not playing if all the stuff i had from overwatch 1 isn't there

  • Mason1NK The Ghost King (@Mason1NK) reported

  • R3dInfinity__ R3D (@R3dInfinity__) reported

    @jNelajus People out here really treating Overwatch 2 like is the first game to ever have any of the problems it's having right now

  • Chris_Donlon Chris 'PRCDXY' Kidd (@Chris_Donlon) reported

    @AskPlayStation I purchased 1000 coins on overwatch but there’s obviously a problem with the game but I don’t have the coins so currently I’ve paid for nothing is this going to get solved at all? @PlayOverwatch
